Lorenzo Insigne struck in the 90th minute as Napoli claimed a deserved 1-0 win over Liverpool to leave Champions League Group C wide open.

73' Alisson blocks Callejon at close range
74' Gomez clears ball at the goal-line
81' CLOSE! Mertens' shot hits the bar
90' GOAL! Napoli 1-0 Liverpool (Insigne)
Napoli strike right at the death - and it's no more than they deserve! Robertson loses Callejon and he has time to drill a brilliant low cross past Alisson for Lorenzo Insigne to poke home on the stretch. What looked to be a credible point away from home has been snatched from Liverpool's grasp.

Liverpool are just being overrated. Mark me, they can't win a single trophy this season because over ninety per cent of their players have never won club trophy in their careers. And in epl, they will finish in third position

I think Liverpool under estimated Napoli and they paid the price.Congratulation to Napoli for giving Liverpool a hard time and finishing their defeat less run 😂

Lacklustre game, No proper style, not a single shot on target, L'pool looks like a low tier team battling out against heavy weights. The stats are much worse for a team like Liverpool, 3 games without a win but NO CRITICISM FOR KLOPP!!! I guess Liverpool fans are more sensible than the fans of the Red part of Manchester. Against Valencia Manchester United register 15 shots 6-7 on target, but the fans still calling for their manager's head. Whereas their rival club fans adore their managers.

Klopp lacks tactics and has no style of play, midfield in Liverpool does not exist, and this trending "pressing techniques" in Liverpool should be used only when you are losing and you have no time. Players have no aerial skills with many open spaces in defense (mainly from Arnold). He should fix the midfield and the formation of players before giving advices about Salah and others to the media. I never managed to understand the formation of the trio.... Firmino should play at Right (slow, but high accuracy in shooting), Mane (who dribbles) at Middle, and Salah ( left footed) at left to open wide spaces in attacks. Left footed players tend to move left and right ones to right. Look on how Mane and Salah tend to stop and struggle to rotate the their bodies (except if you are Messi or Ronaldo) Fabinho has wide vision (aside from some bad passes) and i think Klopp should focus more on him as it seems that he can understand complex ways of building an attack. Klopp is overrated and treats his players like kids, shouting and criticizing rather than analyzing. Napoli deserved to win.
